Jones stated that he wants to choose his college early, so he can enroll in January 2014. Jones made a huge splash last year when he locked down Travin Dural, who was regarded as the best receiver in the state a year ago, during the state championship game. Jones has the hips and speed of a corner, but the frame of a safety. Jones was an Honorable Mention in the 2012 Class 4A All-State football team. He is worthy of being recognized as a top 50 player nationally. He has the ability to play head-up over the slot, in the box for run support and as a rangy playmaking center-fielder. His combination of size and speed explains why he has so many offers from the top programs across the country. Committed to Alabama in December 2013 after receiving offers from several schools including: LSU, Ole Miss, Ohio State, Stanford and Oregon, but later decomitted, then re-committe to the Crimson Tide. Currently ranks No. 7 for the class of 2014 per James Smith.
